REFILL roR vANIrYcAsEs.

. Application'filed April 23, 1923. Serial No. 634,076.. I

To all whomz't may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. KENDALL,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Newark, inthe county of Essex and 6 State of New Jersey, have invented a new and- Improved Refill for Vanity Cases, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

. p The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in vanity cases and it from the vanity case after the compact has been used. Y

It is a further object of the invention to i provide a construction of this character.

which will be. practically invisible within the vanity case. It is a still'further object of the invention to provide a construction of this character in which the compact may be used without interference on the part of the mechanism.

30 With the above and other objects in view, reference is had to the accompanying drawin s, in which igure 1 is'a perspective view of a vanity case in open positionshowing the compact carrier in the actof being discharged therefrom; i

1 Figure 2 is a detail transverse sectional view. showing the position of the several parts in their normal position. v

Referring more particularly to the draw- I ings, the vanity casecomprises a box-like body portion 5,.having & hinged cover 6 preferably provided with a mirror 7. The bodypo'rtion 5 is formed with a flange-8 over which the cover fits, all .of which con- -struction is coinmon to conventional .types of vanity cases. x

In carrying out the invention a strap 9 is pivotally mounted as at 10, on the hinge which formsthe pivotal mounting of the cover 6, and such strap extends downwardly to the forward end of the box as indicated in Fig. 2. The free end of the strap is bent upwardly to provide an extension 11, which extension has an'ofi'set end portion 12 and an angular-1y disposed extremity 13. This angularly disposed -extremity 13 is adapted to be received within a notch 14 formedin the flange 8 of the body 5 of the vanity case. .As more clearly shown in Fig.2, the strap .9 hastwo inwardly bent portions 15 and 16, and said inwardly bent portions 15 and 1 6 are adapted to engage the fiangcd' edge of acompact carrier 17, the compact being designated by 18.. The ofiset portion 12 forms -a projection or shoulder 19, which is adapted to engage beneat-hthe flange 8 to maintain the strap 9 in locked position.

The devicecperates in the following manner:

When it is desired to' place a compact in the van ty case 5, the strap 9'is positioned as shown in Fig. 2, and when the compact is inserted within the vanity case and forced downwardly, the peripheral edge of the com-,1.

pact carrier 17 will engage beneath the in" wardly bent'portions of the strap 9"and pre vent accidental displacement of the compact carrier relative'to .the strapt:

When it is desired to remove the compact carrier 17. after the compact 18 has been. used, it is only necessary toengage the angularly disposed end 13 of the .strap 9 with the finger or fingernail, and move the strap 9 to the position shown in Fig .1,1when the compact carrier 17 is free to be removed from the box. After the'carrier 17 has been removed and it is desired to replace it with another compact and carrier thestrap 9 is lifted to position within the vanity case body 5 and the compact carrieris forced to position as heretofore described.

- In order to present a neat appearance, the compact carrier'l? is provided with transversely -extending channels 20,:o'r the like, and it is intended that the strap 9 be received within one of these channels in order that: it may occupyaposition flush with the outer face of the compact carrier 17 It is to be noted, however, that this channel is not necessary, and the compact could, if deported thereon.

' hingedcoventherefor, and a strap extendthe vanity case,;and, 'at the same time, readily removed'therefrorn if desired.-

What is claimed is: e

1. In a vanity case, a body, a strap ex- 'tending' transversely of the body and pivotally connected thereto, and a compact canriedbysaidstrap.

2. Ina vanity case, a body, a strap ex tending transversely of the body and piv-' otally connected thereto, and a compact carried by said strap and frictionaily sup- 3.111 a vanity case, a. body portion, a

ing transversely of the vanit'ybase and pivotally connected thereto by the hinge of the cover of said'vanity "case, said's'trap serving to support a compaot within the hinged co er therefor "a, rap h ngediy connected to the hinge iietigeeh' h cover'and I vanity case and serving as means'jfor ejecting the compact from the body-rof the vanity case.

4. A vanity. aiiibodyfa the body, said strap having an angularly dis osed'end adapted to Conform to the interior shape ofthe body of the vanity case to form means for preventing movement of.

the hinged strap about its pivotal poi'nt.

ceived within the notch of the flange of the 6. ln' combination -iwith a pair of box members hinged together and arranged to overlap onefanother, a member arranged to have a portion rest flat against the bottom of one of the box members. a'ndhaving a pair of upwardly extending parts, one of said parts-being hingedly connectedto kthehinge ofthe, box members and the other part coacting with the wali offitho box member' for retaining'it in operative sition.
